Mothichur Ladoo

August 07, 2014

Mothichur laddo is very different than the regular boondi ladoo. There is also a difference in color and texture.
Mothichur ladoo is orange in color and made out of little pearl boondi's. This is made on joyous occassions and festivals. I had tried the regular boondi ladoo many times. But this is the first time I tried this and suprisingly my first attempt was a success. Came out very delicious.
